I’m pretty much done with school (because I’ve graduated). Anyway I don’t think that I’ve spent much time in school because I always absence. Well, I categorized absence here into three different things:1- Skipping class, and sometimes school too.2- Daydreaming3- Taking a napAmong these, I like number 3 the most.

There is this old photograph of me standing in front of our previous house in JB, which my parents absolutely adored. In this particular photo, I was holding a pink umbrella on one hand, and one of my favorite cuddly toy on my other hand. This cuddly toy previously belonged to my older sister.

There is a unique ‘thing’ between the teacher, educator, tutor, governess, lecturer, guru, mentor- whatever their name is, with their student, pupil, learner, apprentice- whoever we call ourselves. There’s a saying that sounds like this: Do not judge a book by its cover. But still, we can’t resist the fact that we all do that, don’t we?

These policies are not some sort of written laws, they are just some stuff that everyone just understand as something that we should do.

I know that everyone can say that they believe in God, but to me, we believe in God by not just our words, but also our heart and our actions. Action speaks louder than word, right? Basically, there are 6 articles of belief in Islam - One God, prophets as messengers, holy books, angels, judgment day and fate. For me, believing in them can lead to a happy life.

A friend of mine asked me to tell more about myself. It took me quite a few months to reply the mail. This is weird.

I’ll start this entry with a story about a girl I know who seems to be happy all the time, even though she always gets sick. She has some sort of problem with her immune system.

My behavior... I have to admit that I do weird things. Well, everybody does, right? In my case, I love to talk to animals. Cats especially. I talk about my problems, feelings, thoughts, curiosity, desires and express myself to animals, any kind of animals. It can be a monkey, a bird, or maybe a cow. The reason is I don't really trust people, and sometimes they are not here to listen to me.
